About Us
Making Music Therapy Accessible to Everyone
​
Music Therapy of the Ozarks was founded on the belief that everyone deserves access to the healing power of music therapy, regardless of their financial circumstances. Our Board of Directors envisioned a community where high-quality music therapy services are both accessible and affordable—and that vision continues to inspire everything we do.
​
To make this possible, we provide scholarships to individuals and families who qualify for financial assistance. Funding for these scholarships comes through the generosity of our donors, sponsors, and community partners, as well as the annual fundraising events we host throughout the year.
​
Every dollar raised helps remove financial barriers, allowing more children, adults, and families to experience the life-changing benefits of music therapy.
A closer look at a music therapy session
​Music therapy is the use of music to reach non-musical goals. Within a therapeutic relationship, a client is assessed, treated and evaluated using music interventions by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program.
Who does this benefit?
​
Children with developmental and learning disabilities, adolescents or adults with substance abuse issues or behavioral/mental health needs, adults receiving geriatric or memory care from a skilled nursing facility, families with infants/young children, hospice patients, premature infants, patients in the hospital setting, and inter generational/wellness groups.
